1. Clinton's Global Initiative is a CHARITY, you know, an entity that helps poor people. Its 4 point focus is on Education, Alleviation of Poverty, Energy & Climate Change, and Health Care.

2. Getting access to an EX-president is nice, but not really overwhelmingly helpful unless you want to be hit up for more money for poor people.

3. Hillary won't know who gives what now, and when the information is made public we can all decide whether the contributions produced decisions that are not in the best interest of the country. As far as the past 6 events are concerned the real issue is were the decisions in the best interest of the country (or New York state) or not.

4. George Washington came from a comfortable family, but his marriage to Martha made him quite wealthy. His skill as a surveyor and his support for opening up the West and his use of his wife's wealth to buy more land made him quite wealthy, an aristocrat who lived well, unlike either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.

We need to stop buying in to Republican lies and propaganda, whether directed at the Clinton's or the Obama's. They are far from perfect, but we need to push them in the right direction and push back against the MSM and the GOP whose main goals are scandal or Democratic failure.

the ones who do are either befuddled by the lies of the MSM and the GOP--both of who detest the Clinton's--or are themselves Republicans or the MSM. Sure Clinton made some mistakes because, as the lady who works as a custodian volunteered to me, there is only one man who walks on water. Clearly, however, if the MSM and the Republicans hate Clinton he must have done and be doing something right

The fact is Clinton did more right than wrong--just as Obama will likely do more right than wrong but also not walk on water. Moreover, Bill Clinton is admired throughout most of the world as a smart, educated man dedicated to his country but also the the well-being of the rest of the world.

The Republicans will destroy him and the country with him if this brand of right-wing Republicanism is allowed to re-emerge. They will begin spreading lies soon and the MSM will join with the GOP as soon as their 401k's are safe unless they too are afraid to cross him. He was not the best choice but now he is the only chance and he must be pushed to do the right thing and supported and defended when he does.

voted for FISA after promising not to. He is not a fighter for issues or policies only for himself. That being said, he is better than McCain and we can't let the GOP win the larger battles.

It is not surprising the GOP didn't vote for the package. Doesn't anyone remember when Bill Clinton stepped up to the plate, put his presidency on the line, and crafted the deficit reduction plan of 1993 that brought the government a budget surplus by the end of his term?

Not one Republican voted for Clinton's deficit reduction plan--not in the House, not in the Senate, not one Republican voted for the plan that saved the American economy, until George W. Bush came along and smashed it. The GOP swore Clinton's plan would destroy the economy--lose jobs, stop growth, and actually increase the Reagan deficits.

High growth, 22 million jobs, increased income for the working poor and the middle class, and a decrease in the gap between rich and poor later, the GOP is claiming credit for the booming Clinton economy. No one remembers that Clinton and the Democrats offered up their political lives (and some died) for that good economy that helped the poor and the middle-class.

The GOP is banking on the same public and media forgetfullness, and when the plan put together by Obama, the former Clinton economists, and the House Democrats works, the GOP will again take credit where they took no risk.

And once again, no one will be the wiser. Unless we are lucky, the ecomony will boom, and in 8 years the public will return to greed and send another Bush to the White House. Jeb anyone? Sarah, Mitt, Mike Huckabee anyone?

also what LBJ said to Martin Luther King, Jr. He needed King to force him so he could force Congress. King did and LBJ did; we got the Civil Rights Bill. And now we have Barack Obama. He may or may not know he needs to be forced, but he too needs it.

to hang themselves with and show the public that the lack of civility comes from the GOP, but I fear he actually believes he can get them to work with him for the good of the country.

If he really believes that the GOP will give peace a chance than I really do fear for health care. He better get over that idea and he better do health care NOW before the GOP can mount another Harry and Louise campaign and while corporations and the public see the abyss before them.

I've heard rumblings that he is going to go for entitlement reform next--the very term a Republican lie designed to push Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid down the slope and into the lake.

Clinton is because he raised their taxes to balance the budget. The press felt allied to the GOP and low taxes for the rich because they ARE the rich.

Clinton betrayed the beltway by taxing them and by pushing for universal health care which would have cost the rich even more. Members of the Washington press corps are rich, self-satisfied and convinced they know all and deserve all.

They will go after Obama if he lets the Bush tax cuts lapse to pay for the stimulus and health care.
